IMPROVEMENT IN REPLECTING- LADlP-CHIIMNBYS.

The Schedule referred to in than Letters Patent and making part of the name.

7'0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HORACE L. Hnnvny, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Reflecting Lamp-Ghimney; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying d1a.wings. uml to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of myinvention consists in the constructionof glass chimneys for lamps with metallic reflectms, and securing the same by. suitable means to the chimneys, as will be more fully hereinafter described.

In the drawings-e Figure 1 is a perspective view of one of the styles of my improved chimneys; A

Figure 2 is also a pcispective View of one of my improved chimneys; and

Figure 3 is a perspective-view of a section of another styl'e of my chimney.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now describe its construction and operation.

A is the chimney, and has an opening in one of its sides, the side on which the reflector B is to be secured.

The size'of the openings, in figs. 1 and 2, is indicated by the edges of the chimneys, at a a a a, which are on the edges of the chimneys, detennining the size and shape of the openings.

conform in size and shape with openings covered by them, except in being a trifle larger than the openings, so as to pcfiectly cover them, and not fall through the openings into the chimneys.

The reflector shown in fig. 1 is secured fromfiilling from its position on the lump by means of the braces or lugs b, which are soldered or otherwise secured to thereflcctor B.

. which slide over the beading (I, and thus secures the reflector B in position.

The reflector shown in fig. 2 is secured in place by means of. the holders or books 0 c c c.

In constructing the chimney, of which fig. 3 represents a section, I provide it with a bead, d (1, on its edges bounding the side that is open, and on which the reflector is placed; and the reflector used in this style ot'chimuey is provided with grooved catches, e e,

The chimneys are preferably made of the shape shown infigs. 1 and 2, when the reflectors shown in ,those respective figures are used; but by giving greater having a reflecting-plate applied totheir outer surface.

Such I do notclaim. Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let tors' Patent-,is-

A reflecting lamp-chimney, composed of metal and glass, one whole side or less made of metal, which serves as theretlector, and secured to the glass by v means of beading (Z and grooved catches e, or lugs b, The reflectors, shown in figs. 1 and 2, are made to or hooks .c, substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.

In testimony that I claim the above-described refleeting lump-chimney, I have hereunto signed my name, this 17th day of June, 1869.
